Josh Hazlewood reaches 300 Test wickets in Darwin
In the first Test against Bangladesh in Darwin, Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood reached the milestone of 300 Test wickets. He achieved the feat by claiming a six-wicket haul (6/89) in the first innings, becoming only the ninth Australian bowler to reach the mark. Hazlewood joins teammates Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Nathan Lyon as the only active Australian bowling attack in history where all four members have surpassed 300 wickets.
Despite Hazlewood’s individual achievement, Bangladesh secured a historic nine-wicket victory, marking their first-ever Test win on Australian soil. The Bangladeshi performance was bolstered by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who became the first Asian spinner to score a half-century and take a five-wicket haul in a Test match played in Australia.
Australian all-rounder Cameron Green provided a notable individual effort for the hosts, scoring an unbeaten 104 in the second innings. His century, his first in a home Test, was praised by cricket legends as a vital performance amidst a difficult match for Australia.
